DESCRIPTION:Leap into the future at the Western Railway Museum's new exhibit, "Traction
Labs." On Saturday November 16 the Museum, popular for its scenic train
rides through the Solano countryside and its collection of historic trains,
cuts the ribbon on a new exhibit that propels participants 20+ years into
the future. \n\nLocal officials and Museum leaders will be on hand for this
first day to officially open "Traction Labs," a permanent, interactive
exhibit that explores the future of energy and transportation.
\n\n"Traction Labs" features six hands-on activities, which highlight
numerous renewable power sources such as solar, wind and water. Visitors
get a glimpse of the serious questions and possible solutions regarding
modern energy and transportation choices.\n\nIn "Traction Labs," the year
is 2040. How will people get around? Where will the power to run society
come from? These are the issues the exhibit challenges young people to
think about. \n\nA highly interactive exhibit aimed towards students in
grades 3 through 8, as well as adults, "Traction Labs" has been in the
planning stages for the past six years. \n\nAmong the local businesses
that have contributed to the new exhibit is EDF Renewable Energy, which has
been a leader in the development of wind power in the County. Major
financial support also has come from companies interested in education:
Valero Benicia Refinery, the Bruce Singer Education Fund and the Billy and
Louise Yarbrough Family Foundation.\n
